Many insurance companies will ignore theft claims if you don't provide them with evidence, in the form of a certification from a security company, that you've taken steps to protect your property.

Is it a good idea to contact my insurance company when buying a security product?

Yes, it is of great importance that you check in with your insurance company. Do so before purchasing any type of security related product as they may have a list of security devices they require. Your insurance company may even insist that you install certain security or locksmith equipment before they agree to insure you.

What is the need for fitting this fancied "high security lock" on the door of my house? I've had a simple deadbolt lock on my door for 15 years and no one has ever robbed me.

That's fortunate for you, but it is not recommended to be blasé' about it and leave thing to chance. Though a high security lock is not indestructible, it will significantly deter any would be thief.

Once my roommate moves out, should I change my apartment locks?

It's always a good idea to be on the cautious side - no matter how amicable the relationship with your former roommate might have been. To improve your security, it is easy to upgrade an existing lock system. Adopt a master key system or have a key control feature added to new locks. If you are renting an apartment, your landlord might want to install an access control solution.
